Tie will was coutestcd-frst by tue widow,
whom it now appeared had never been le-
pally divorced from the deceased; next by
four of his cousins, who awoke, only too late,
to a consciousness Of his moral and pecuniary
worth. But the humble legatee-a singularly
plain, unpretending, uneducatcd western
girl-exhibited logged pertinacity in
claiming her rights. She rejected all compro-
misses. A rough sense of justice in the COM
mu,iftY, while doubling her ability to take
care OF the whole fortune, suggested that she
ought to 10 content with 100000. "She's

opposing voice to this counsel came from
the sardonic lips of Mr.. Jack Hamlin. "Sup-

abruptly on the speaker-"suppose, when

Wethersbce quickly pointed out the ineffi-
cheney of the comparison by Stating that he
had won the money fairly with stake. "And

agely, bending his black eyes on the aston
